Benefits of RAID 5 protection

 

There are many benefits of using RAID 5 device parity protection.

• Lost data is automatically reconstructed by the IOA after a disk failure.

• The system continues to run after a single disk failure.

• A failed disk unit can be replaced without stopping the system.

• Only one disk unit of capacity stores parity data in a parity set.
